Ingredients

• 1½ lb chicken breast, 2 large breasts
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 12 oz fettuccine
• 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated parmesan, finely grated from a wedge, about 3 oz
• salt
• black pepper

Method

1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
2. Lay each chicken breast flat, press down with your palm and slice through it horizontally to make 2 thin cutlets. Pat dry and season with the garlic powder, ¾ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper.
3. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken without moving it until golden underneath, 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook 2–4 minutes more, until it reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part. Move to a board to rest.
4. Meanwhile, add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to the package, adding the broccoli for the last 3 minutes. Scoop out 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
5. Lower the heat under the skillet to medium-low and melt the butter. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the cream, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer gently for 3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
6. Turn the heat to low. Add the parmesan a handful at a time, stirring until each melts, then season with pepper. Add the drained pasta and broccoli and toss with tongs, adding splashes of the saved water until the sauce is silky and coats every strand. Slice the chicken and serve on top.
